One of the biggest drawbacks to chemotherapy is the fact that it destroys
healthy cells throughout your body right along with cancer cells, a "side
effect" that often leads to accelerated death, not healing.

Another devastating side effect of chemotherapy is the way it actually
supports the more chemo resistant and malignant cell subpopulations within
tumors (e.g. cancer stem cells), both killing the more benign cells and/or
senescent cells within the tumor that keep it slow-growing, or even harmless.

As a result, this unleashes a more aggressive, treatment-resistant type
of cancer to wreak havoc on the body.

A handful of natural compounds have been discovered, however, which
exhibit an effect called "selective cytotoxicity." This means they are able
to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells and tissue unharmed.

This type of cancer treatment is intelligent, targeted and will not
result in the death of the patient from "collateral damage" in what is
increasingly a failed war not against the cancer being treated, but the
patient's own irreversibly devastated body.

Bromelain in Pineapples Kills Cancer Cells Without Harming You

One such compound is bromelain, an enzyme that can be extracted from
pineapple stems. Research published in the journal Planta Medica found that
bromelain was superior to the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorauracil in treating
cancer in an animal study.i Researchers stated:

"This antitumoral effect [of bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU
[5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263 %, relative to
the untreated control."

What makes this impact particularly impressive is that the bromelain
worked without causing additional harm to the animals. The chemo drug 5-
fluorauracil, on the other hand, has a relatively unsuccessful and dangerous
track record despite being used for nearly 40 years.

As written by GreenMedInfo:

"As a highly toxic, fluoride-bound form of the nucleic acid uracil, a
normal component of RNA, the drug is supposed to work by tricking more
rapidly dividing cells -- which include both cancer and healthy intestinal,
hair follicle, and immune cells -- into taking it up, thereby inhibiting
(read: poisoning) RNA replication enzymes and RNA synthesis.…

When a person dies following conventional cancer treatment it is all
too easy to "blame the victim" and simply write that patient's cancer off as
"chemo-resistant," or "exceptionally aggressive," when in fact the non-
selective nature of the chemotoxic agent is what ultimately lead to their
death."

Selective cytotoxicity is indeed a property that is only found among
natural compounds; no chemotherapy drug yet developed is capable of this
effect. Aside from bromelain, other examples of natural compounds that have
been found to kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells include:

Vitamin C -- Dr. Ronald Hunninghake carried out a 15-year research
project called RECNAC (cancer spelled backwards). His groundbreaking
research in cell cultures showed that vitamin C was selectively cytotoxic
against cancer cells.

Eggplant extract: Solasodine rhamnosyl glycosides (BEC), which is a
fancy name for extracts from plants of the Solanaceae family, such as
eggplant, tomato, potato, Bell peppers, and tobacco, also impact only
cancerous cells leaving normal cells alone. Eggplant extract cream appears to
be particularly useful in treating skin cancer. Dr. Bill E. Cham, a leading
researcher in this area, explains:

"The mode of action of SRGs [glycoalkaloids solasodine rhamnosy
glycosides (BEC)] is unlike any current antineoplastic [anti-tumor] agent.

Specific receptors for the SRGs present only on cancer cells but not normal
cells are the first step of events that lead to apoptosis in cancer cells
only, and this may explain why during treatment the cancer cells were being
eliminated and normal cells were replacing the killed cancer cells with no
scar tissue being formed."

Turmeric (Curcumin Extract): Of all the natural cancer fighters out
there, this spice has been the most intensely researched for exhibiting
selective cytotoxicity.ii Remarkably, in a 2011 study published in the
Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, rats administered curcumin, the primary
polyphenol in turmeric, saw a decrease in experimentally-induced brain tumors
in 9 out of 11 treated, while noting that the curcumin did not affect the
viability of brain cells "suggesting that curcumin selectively targets the
transformed [cancerous] cells."

About Me

Hi Folks, My name is Larry Nelson. I'm 67 years old, I live in central
Texas and I'm enjoying my retirement.
In May of 2007 I was diagnosed with cancer in my prostate. I wasn't
real surprised because my mother died from the 3rd battle with cancer.
I was told that, on a scale of 1 to 9, I was rated 7. They said that I
had a very short time to live unless I have my prostate removed and
follow up with Kemo-Therapy.
I tried to explain to the uroligist that I had been studying cancer
treatment on the internet and that I had decidedto go the alterative
route. I had to repeat myself 3 times to get the doctor to acknowledge
my comment. He told me that it wouldn't work.
It is now February of 2012, I don't have cancer problems that I know of.
I have lost friends to the medical treatment of cancer and I had decided
that I wasn't going to go through the HELL that they did before they died.
What I want to accomplish with this blog is...I want to let as many people
know as I can that there is a much better way to deal with cancer. There
is many people like me that have beat cancer with the alternative approach
to beating cancer.
